With Chen Heng's experience, he immediately realized many things.
For example, the gods in this world, as well as the power of the churches that those gods had left behind.
In this world, almost every god had their own church, as well as their own territory.
In fact, in this world, many countries had their own religions.
In this world, the vast majority of people had their own gods that they believed in.
Seizing and seizing. This was the case for Hedoshiri and Ramu.
As nobles of the Makdo Kingdom, they had been believers of the Moonlight Goddess. Even though they were not very devout, they were still believers.
Even Chen Heng's previous self had been like this.
It was just that he did not believe in the Moonlight Goddess but the Hadim family's ancestor, the Last Flame God, who had supposedly disappeared.
From this, one could imagine the atmosphere in this world.
In this world, not having faith was a very terrifying thing.
Whether they were willing or not, whether they were sincere or not, at least on the surface, everyone had their own faith.
Before, Chen Heng had not thought too much about this.
After all, this was a world with the existence of real gods. In the mortal world, it seemed to be a very normal thing to have such a flourishing belief. There was nothing strange about it.
However, it seemed that the reason why faith was so abundant in this world, apart from the existence of gods, was also because gods needed mortals' faith.
If they did not need mortals' faith energy, with gods' power and status, they did not need to care about mortals' thoughts, nor did they need to use their power to establish their own churches.
Standing there, Chen Heng thought to himself. By now, he had a deeper understanding of this world.
As he walked on the streets, in order to test some things, Chen Heng slowed down a bit and took out some treasures to give.
After doing some things, a clear change occurred.
Within Chen Heng's body, the faith energy flowing through him was rapidly growing, and it was growing many times faster than before.
After receiving this faith energy, Chen Heng's Divinity gave off waves of excited thoughts, seeming to be very satisfied and eager.
It was just that as time passed, the faith energy that was rapidly growing in Chen Heng's body quickly decreased. It seemed that it had decreased by a lot.
At the start, it was not obvious, but the more time passed, the less faith energy Chen Heng obtained.
"As expected, momentary gratitude is not reliable …"
Standing there and sensing his body, Chen Heng thought to himself.
From the information transmitted by the divinity, one could tell that the so-called power of faith was actually the host of the spiritual power of living beings.
As long as a living being imbued their spirit force into your body, it could be considered as faith power.
In other words, it didn't have to be true faith. Fear, gratitude, and other emotions could be considered as a type of faith power that could be used by divinity.
However, compared to true faith, pure gratitude was not very reliable.
After all, gratitude came and went quickly. It couldn't be sustained.
In terms of efficiency, not only was it inferior to directly obtaining faith, it was even inferior to fear.
After all, it was very difficult to make a creature feel grateful to you for a long time.
A moment of kindness might be able to make a living being feel grateful towards you, but as time passed, the other party would become accustomed to it, and they would no longer do so.
At this point, if you want him to continue expressing his gratitude, you'll have to pay even more.
This meant that the cost would be even greater.
If it reached a certain point and you could not meet the other party's expectations, not only would the other party not continue to feel grateful, but they might even feel resentment towards you.
If it was just one or two, it would be fine, but if there were too many, even a god would not be able to handle it.
As such, this method of obtaining faith energy was not very efficient.
On the contrary, it was much easier to obtain emotions like fear.
At the very least, it was much easier to make a living being feel fear towards you than to make them feel gratitude towards you.
Fear only needed to be continuously applied, and this was incredibly easy for many people.
The cost of using this method to obtain the power of faith was undoubtedly lower. To a certain extent, it was even lower than developing faith through proper means.
After all, developing faith required a large amount of investment. No matter if it was establishing a church or nurturing priests, they all required a large amount of divine power.
In the end, they also needed to fight with other gods for believers and continuously send down miracles.
Even if they invested a lot, they might not succeed.
However, making people feel fear was much easier. They just had to scare people from time to time and did not need to invest much.
The cost was the lowest out of all the methods.
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Standing there, Chen Heng thought about some of the groups of gods and thought to himself.
Within this world's god groups, there seemed to be many gods in this area.
They all had the names of gods that represented pain and fear, and just hearing these names would cause one's expression to change.
Based on Chen Heng's understanding, these gods most likely used fear to obtain faith energy.
Apart from these methods, perhaps there were other methods, but these were most likely the main ones.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng did not feel that it was strange that his faith energy was decreasing.
This was very normal.
However, what made Chen Heng feel quite confused was that even though the amount of faith energy being given to him was decreasing, there were two streams of faith energy that did not decrease at all and maintained a stable output rate.
Not only that, but in terms of quality, these two streams of faith energy were the most abundant out of all the other sources of faith energy.
"Could it be …"
A thought flashed in Chen Heng's mind, and he could not help but test it out.
Within his body, as he thought about it, thin threads appeared above the two streams of divinity, looking different.
Within Chen Heng's body, most of the threads were quite weak and seemed incredibly illusory, as if they could disappear at any moment.
Seizing, seizing. Only the two threads were extremely solid, giving off a feeling of sturdiness.
As Chen Heng thought to himself, two auras appeared above the two threads.
Hedoshiri and Ramu's figures appeared in Chen Heng's mind.
"As expected."
Sensing Hedoshiri and Ramu's existences, Chen Heng felt a trace of understanding and no longer had any doubts.
(Nine Cakes (Chinese: 9bzW.om)) It seemed that not only was the gratitude of beggars towards him a type of faith energy, but Hedoshiri and Ramu's relationship with him was also a type of faith energy.
This gave Chen Heng a whole new understanding of faith energy.
Standing there, many thoughts flashed in Chen Heng's mind before he turned and silently walked elsewhere.
He did not continue to give out alms here, because he knew that no matter how much he gave out, it would be useless.
It was too inefficient to just hand out the wealth in exchange for a trace of gratitude from those people.
Before, he had just been probing them, so he did not mind. However, now he would forget about it.
After walking past this place, Chen Heng went to the other side and returned to his residence.
Within his residence, Hedoshiri and Ramu were no longer there; it seemed that they had gone to take care of other things.
Chen Heng did not feel too surprised, and he silently sat by his bed and entered a deep Meditation state.
As he started to Meditate, elemental particles flowed into his body and were converted into magic energy.
As his mental energy spread out, Chen Heng could faintly see a large, formless net.
This was a huge network that was completely interwoven with mental power. It was very unique, and its structure was also very special.
Only when Chen Heng entered Meditation and his mental energy spread out could he sense the existence of this massive net.
This huge network stood in the middle of the world as if it had existed since ancient times. It was very unique.
At that moment, it seemed to have sensed Chen Heng's existence, and the massive net opened up, seemingly sending an invitation to Chen Heng. It was as if it was inviting him into this massive net.
"This is … the magic net?"
Sensing this massive net, Chen Heng instinctively frowned as he thought of something.
Before, Hedoshiri had given Chen Heng some general knowledge about this world.
Some information about Wizards was one of them.
In this world, the Wizard system was closely related to the magic net.
Not only could Wizards sense this world's magic net when they meditated, but they also needed to use the magic net to cast magic skills.
Chen Heng had been quite curious about these unique existences.
Before, he had thought that since he did not come from this world's Wizard system, he would not be able to sense this world's magic net.
However, it seemed that this was not the case.
"It seems that as long as one's mental energy is strong enough, one will be able to sense this world's magic net …"
Sensing the massive net around him, Chen Heng thought to himself.
Sitting at the head of the bed, he hesitated for a moment. Then, he began to control his mind and spread it upwards, making contact with the huge magic net.
This world's magic net was something that Wizards had to come into contact with.
In the future, Chen Heng planned to come into contact with this world's Wizard system and study it.
Since it was like this, he would not be able to avoid the magic net.
Since it was like this, it did not matter if he came into contact with it earlier or later.
As Chen Heng thought to himself, his mental energy spread out and started to connect with the omnipresent magic net.
An invisible ripple swept across the void.
From what Chen Heng could sense, even though the magic net existed, it did not seem to be in this world's physical realm. Instead, it seemed to be in a higher level.
The surface of the magic net was covered with layers of tentacles. When mental energy appeared in the outside world, it could connect with it.
In that instant, Chen Heng broke through that formless barrier and connected with the magic net.
A formless ripple appeared.
As he connected with the magic net, a formless feeling appeared.
Within the magic net, there seemed to be a large amount of information.
This information was none other than information on the construction of spell templates.
When Chen Heng came into contact with the magic net, it seemed to sense his massive mental energy, and the information in the surroundings started to gather.
The information gathered and gathered, and Chen Heng could sense that it seemed to form magic skill templates.
Of course, from how Chen Heng saw it, these magic skill templates were only half-finished products and did not seem very complicated.
However, if that was all there was to it, it was already shocking enough.
"This is …"
Sitting on the bed and sensing the situation, Chen Heng paused, a look of shock on his face.
"So … it's like this …"
Sensing the situation within the magic net, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Chen Heng, who had traveled through many worlds and had many experiences, could immediately see through some of the magic net's mechanisms. He had many guesses as to why the magic net existed.
In order to verify his guesses, he immediately acted.
Large amounts of mental energy flowed out and rushed into the magic net.
As all of this happened, Chen Heng could sense some changes happening.
Within the magic net, as Chen Heng's mental energy passed through it, the information in the surroundings gathered and formed temporary magic skill templates.
As Chen Heng's mental energy flowed into them, these temporary magic skill templates condensed and became real magic skill templates.
These magic skill templates were formed and existed within the Magic Net, forming a connection with Chen Heng.
Sensing all of this, Chen Heng inwardly frowned. Seizing Seizing
He could feel that as the spell template within the Weave took shape, the spiritual force he had sent into it was also devoured by the Weave. It was intercepted by the Weave and turned into nourishment for the Weave.
"So it's like that …"
As he sensed all of this, he came to a sudden realization. He finally understood how the Weave worked.
The so-called magic net could be seen as a service that was operated by the Goddess of Magic.
Using the magic net, a wizard could quickly use the hidden power within the magic net to condense magic skill templates and cast magic skills.
To a certain extent, this could be said to be extremely convenient.
It was just that this was not free.
Each time one used the magic net's power, they would use up a large amount of mental energy.
To a certain extent, this spiritual force was equivalent to the cost of using the Weave.
This was a paid usage.
Of course, the magic net was not without its benefits.
To a certain extent, using the Weave could reduce the difficulty of casting spells to a certain extent.
According to the Sorcerer World's system, if a Sorcerer wanted to cast magic skills, unless they could solidify the magic skill on their body, they would have to go through a long process.
From constructing the magic skill template to casting the magic skill, this process would take a long time. If one was not a powerful Sorcerer, there might not even be a chance that the magic skill would fail.
In the past, in the Sorcerer World, Chen Heng had heard of many such examples. Many Sorcerers did not die at the hands of their enemies and instead died from failing to cast magic skills.
However, if one used the magic net to cast magic skills, this risk would be reduced to a certain extent.
Constructing magic skill templates within the magic net could, to a certain extent, use the magic net's power to construct the magic skill templates that one needed, and then use the magic net's power to store them. [Book of Wonders]
This way, when he really needed to cast a spell, he could directly access the spell stored in the Weave and cast it directly.
This was incredibly convenient.
The magic net was filled with information about constructing magic skill templates, and it could help in quickly constructing magic skill templates.
Of course, it was incredibly convenient for wizards to construct magic skill templates within the magic net.
With such great convenience, it was no wonder that this world's Sorcerer system was so reliant on the magic net.
Standing there, Chen Heng thought to himself before shaking his head.
The Weave could indeed bring about many benefits, but with his foresight, he could see the hidden drawbacks with a single glance.
The most obvious drawback was that it was easy to become dependent on it.
In the Sorcerer World, it was incredibly difficult for Sorcerers to cast magic skills, and they needed to go through a long period of training.
But in this world, with the convenient use of the Weave, the mages of this world would probably not meditate on spell templates themselves, and would instead choose to rely on the Weave to do it.
After all, not only was there a risk of failure when casting spells after painstakingly creating spell templates, there was also no difference in the power of the spells cast through the Weave.
Apart from a small number of people, it was clear what choice most people would make.
Most wizards would choose to rely on the magic net for a long time, and after a long time, the wizards' ability to cast magic skills would quickly weaken, which would affect them in many ways.
Once the magic net stopped working, the wizards' battle power would immediately collapse, and they might not even be as strong as the lowest-grade warriors.
On the other hand, relying on the magic net to cast magic skills did not come without a price; they had to use their mental energy.
A bit of mental energy was not much to wizards, but the problem was that there were simply too many magic skill templates to construct.
Just then, Chen Heng had already tested it.
After using the magic net to construct magic skill templates, the magic skill templates would be stored within the magic net.
However, this storage was not permanent but temporary.
If they were not used after a certain period of time, the constructed spell templates would collapse on their own and disappear.
